Lovely texture. — 5 months ago
Always very firm in its youth it’s finally drinking well right now with fruit, nicely developed round tannins and underlined acidity that’s there but doesn’t stand out (wouldn’t peg this as Italian in a blind tasting and probably not old world). — 6 years ago

What a shocker in the wine bar at guest house Casa Rossella in the Tunuta di Arceno vineyards. First that we are free to open a pristine looking bottle and second that it is still perfectly drinkable if not well over the hill! Neck fill is full like new wines, cork in good enough shape to come out in one piece using crappy butterfly opener. Nose dominated by acidic berries and thin earthiness. Palate still lively though rather one dimensional but got that old wine feel I like so much, Finnish long though thin. Lost couple of pegs next day when Joe and Chris tasted. Give it a niner for surviving! Not a fancy label either. — 2 years ago
Why this wine worked for me. Well it was good! Lol seriously though subtle dark fruits and what I would call humidified maduro cigar on the nose. (there are differences between the naturals and the Maduros.). Anyway, to me very nice. Soft dark cherries some blackberries a bit of chalk and leather will work in harmony on the palate. Nice finish. Tannins and acid both seem to be appropriate. To me I liked this wine. I hope you enjoy it as well. — 2 years ago
